I presume you've read up on this "Trolley Problem"...

Did you miss the obvious problem with your statement?

Suppose if you don't swerve, you hit 30 school children, and if you do swerve, you hit one terminally ill child molester.

...That's why you don't get to abstain. You have to choose. That's the definition of the trolley problem.
